You won't win the second most important cup in football (after the world cup) by losing the dressing room. This is not some mickey mouse cup like the Europa league. Also not winning anything isn't doom and gloom as long as there is some sort of progression. Instead most players had regressed since last season.So to you, winning a trophy = not losing the dressing room.
I wonder why you even bother analysing anything, because winning something = everything is rosy, not winning anything = all is doom and gloom. Why bother caring what actually goes on under the hood?
Which is why Jose needs to leave for Real ASAP, he can't win here under this circumstances and haters will always find things to nag about if he cannot bring the big trophies.
So as I stated a long time ago you just buy into everything the media posts, without any evidence!Luke Shaw is a curious case. The guy's career was inflicted by injuries which surely impacted his performance. You expect Mourinho to sympathise with the player or at least get rid of him quietly as it would be insensitive towards a players who might have ruined his career playing for us. But no, that's not Mourinho's way. Then during the summer we went for Sandro but we weren't able to sign that up mainly because Juve was asking for silly money. After the summer Mou was forced to give Shaw a last chance and Shaw took the opportunity. He certainly couldn't rock the boat and had to say all the right things considering that he was in his last year of contract and no one would be willing to sign him up on the big money we signed him up following his disastrous stint with us.
Apart from him everyone seemed to have regressed from last season and that includes the very players Mourinho had signed ie Sanchez, Lukaku, Matic and Bailly (Lindelof was never good). We've got a 50m signing who vanished in the reserves after having the temerity of scoring a goal and last game he justified his inability to change tactics mainly because he didn't had Fellaini at his disposal to throw him on the pitch and spray him with crosses and long balls. Special one indeed.
Not really no. I do try to rely on reliable media and on what Mou says. Of course you can just ignore everything and live in Lala land were everything is just fine, were most of the team had just regressed from last season mainly because of the weather and were its totally normal for a manager to spend 30m+ on CBs every year up until he finally gets it right.So as I stated a long time ago you just buy into everything the media posts, without any evidence!
You post an awful lot but just recycle everything you post. Try evolving your posts to keep up with current events. As living in the past and going over and over on the same thing isn’t a healthy obsession.
As you quote media outlets on our transfer targets, when the player is negotiating a deal with his current club, so obviously United are linked to them, it happens all the time and generally there's nothing at all in it.Not really no.

I also think that we should be sticking to football rather then on third rated advice which does stink of personal attacks. If I remember well there actual rules that sort of tackle that.

Jose actually said the team over performed last season, looks like he was correct.
Feedback on your posts isn't a personal attack. Stop trying to play the victim. If you so wish to ignore current events and hold onto what was happening months ago to support your outdated vendetta driven posts then so be it...
Back on thread let's hope the media are correct with this story about him wanting to stop.
I am guessing he is not that reliable, is he ??Jim White still tweeting transfer news in 2018 is amazing, does he have no shame?
Not really.I am guessing he is not that reliable, is he ??
I'm sure the hold up is just technicalities like we've spelt Anthony Martial as Mehdi Benatia for exampleTweet

Apparently we have activated his one year extension option till we be able to reach an agreement.United recently activated a year-long extension clause in Martial's current deal that ties him down until 2020, after the France forward rejected their latest offer of new terms.
Sky Sports News understands that an agreement remains very far from being reached, despite another round of discussions.
Yeah. Pogba too.Reckon he'll push for a move if Jose stays put. Pretty sure him chasing full backs all game wasn't what he envisaged himself doing here.
A man can hope.Yeah. Pogba too.
Really can't see Mourinho being here beyond next summer though.
Can't see Dave sticking around much longerYeah. Pogba too.

That begs a question: is Woodward willing to lose his best players to keep an underperfoming manager.Can't see Dave sticking around much longer
either given the current status quo at the club
It's the big question right now. We could well be losing a few if noises are to be believed.That begs a question: is Woodward willing to lose his best players to keep an underperfoming manager.
This argument is only applied to Martial. I'm not sure why people keep throwing it at De Gea and Pogba.That begs a question: is Woodward willing to lose his best players to keep an underperfoming manager.
ThisNot particularly worried, I don't see him leaving, Jose will be gone end of the season.
No.That begs a question: is Woodward willing to lose his best players to keep an underperfoming manager.
Bayern will offload Robbery and he will be guaranteed a starting shirt as his competition will be Gnabry and ComanFor Martial he's still pretty young and no other top club will offer him a guaranteed starting spot than here, so it feels logical for him to stay under a new manager and try his luck.
We're pretty much fecked up if we ends in Europe League next season.
I'm not sure Bayern will let 2 of their old guard leave in one summer.Bayern will offload Robbery and he will be guaranteed a starting shirt as his competition will be Gnabry and Coman
I understand David, but Pogba? Clearly wasn't happy with him in the summer.This argument is only applied to Martial. I'm not sure why people keep throwing it at De Gea and Pogba.
People are going to blame Woodward for overpaying, but the fact is the way the idiot has managed the players (and Martial) means we're having to go in this negotiation with one hand tied behind our back. Everything is in martials hands, and it's down to us to convince him to stay.£200,000 per week minimum may seal the deal.
His agent have all the advantages, plenty of cards to play this time and can easily milk this negotiation.
- contract running out, 1(+1) year/s left.
- good run of form, one of the two key players in us having even a small chance to win games atm, which likely will remain that way for a lot longer.
- good age, 22-23 y.o., nothing to rush, and the potential many next years means more opportunity for his client with the club or at different club.
- growing hot reputation, which other top/mid clubs may start to sniff their interest testing the water.
- wages structure of United current squad is a delish delight full course meal -- Sanchez's huge wages, Lukaku's, Lingard's and Shaw's recent double help justify demand of tripling his current wages, I mean how important are they as key players and their forms, especially the first two.
- at the moment, it's like the club need to keep him more than the player needs the club, considering the many messy 'issues' we're having now oh in so many ways.
- the club management in recent years post-SAF era have a 'nice record' of listening to players agents.
- if rumours are believed to be, the one that holds the most active power at the club -- Ed insist on keeping Tony M a possible favourite of him.
- client have a huge fan base, huge supporters among the United fans, and I don't see the current power hierarchy having the balls to go against this, no strong figure like SAF anymore who'll if needs to be play hard ball making the tough decision.
- no recent justification in losing the negotiation this time -- previously in season 2016/17 maybe as Martial's form and performances are not convincing and we have more star players back then whom we rely on. Also, there seems to be problems with his discipline/attitude for some reason.
